? command to do a print-screen from LabVIEW?

Is there a way to do a print-screen (usually done with control-printscreen from the keyboard) using a command from within labview.
I have a customer of our product that finds it useful to do a print screen of the test panel. I'd like a way to automate it.

Hi Test,
easy solution: you can set the vi to "print when panel closed" in the vi properties!
Other solution:
there's an invoke node method that will give you the actual front panel as graphic data which can be saved using the picture file functions. (Instead of printing I prefer to save PNG files - paperless office )

Is it possible to perform a print screen from an af:commandButton?

Is it possible to perform a print screen from an af:commandButton?

You have a program in your applications/utilities folder called "Grab". Open it and you can copy an entire screen or a selection and save it into various formats. (I.E. Jpeg image).
or.........
• To take a picture of the whole screen, press Command-Shift-3.
• To take a picture of part of the screen, press Command-Shift-4, then drag to select the area you want in the picture.
• To take a picture of a window, the menu bar, the Dock, or other area, press Command-Shift-4, then press the Space bar. Move the pointer over the area you want so that it's highlighted, then click. If you decide you want to drag to select the area, press the Space bar again.
• If you press Command-Shift-4 and decide you don't want to take the screen shot, press the Escape key.
• Screen shots are saved as files on the desktop. If you want to put the screen shot in the Clipboard, rather than create a file, hold down the Control key when you press the other keys. You can then paste the picture into a document

Is there any way to stop the print screen from dropping down on top of the page to be printed. Can the print screen be moved?

Is there a way to stop the print screen from dropping down on top of the page to be printed. Can the print screen be moved? When the print screen drops down, it covers the page and the info needed to create the file. Thank you

You will find that this is application dependent. Most Apple applications such as Safari and Mail will use the "sheet" type of dialog boxes that you are referring. There is no way for the user to change that behavior. Other, non-Apple, applications like Firefox use a "modal" dialog box for printing etc. The modal boxes can be moved around so you can see the page behind.

Print Screen Opens on Page Immediately - How do I stop it?

Hi,
First I'd like to thank blarman74 and Andy because I worked off of the information on this thread:
Autoprint Print Friendly Page
Autoprint Print-Friendly Page
I created a Button: URL call to javascript:PrintPopup()
I put this code in the report's HTML Header:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function PrintPopup () {
var url;
url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:2004:&SESSION.::::::YES';
w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=900,height=1000");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
</script>
And in the report's Region Footer I put this code:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.print();
</script>
Now, here is the problem. When I first open page 2004, the print screen opens immediately. I have to close it before I can see page 2004. Then I click the button with the URL call and the printer friendly page opens with the print screen on top. This part is good. That works beautifully.
How do I stop the print screen from opening when I first open page 2004? I figure there is some setting I am missing or perhaps a piece of code somewhere.
Thanks,
Maggie

You could put the winpopup code in the footer of the printerfriendly template.
#FORM_CLOSE#</body>
</html>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.print();
</script>
I then have a navigation bar which has:
target type: A page in this application
&APP_PAGE_ID.
And printer friendly check box checked.
You can then print the current page from the navigation bar.
I don't use a button, but essentially you just want your action to be performed when the button is submitted.

Restarting PXI RT from Labview 2011 64 bit

I have a customer trying to issue a restart command to a PXI-RT system from Labview 2011 64 bit. He says the command doesn't work.
I currently don't have 64bit so I can't test it very well right now.
Is this something anyone else has tried or experienced?
Thanks,

The real-time module is not supported for 64-bit LabVIEW. As a work around, you could install 32-bit LabVIEW onto your 64-bit OS. This should solve your customer's issue.

Thank you for any help from you..
Solved!

You will probably find a solution using the Report generation VIs. You can create a report, insert any data and text you wish, and print it either on the default printer or on a named printer. The report generation VIs are at the bottom of the Programming palette.

Is there a Siri command to get to the home screen from the lock screen?

Here is the situation - an elderly friend of mine (94 years old) was in a panic because there were text messages on the lock screen and try as he might he could not "slide to open."
He has no passcode set.
Anyway, I had him try this and it worked:
1. Use Siri to "open calendar."
2. After it opened, press the Home button to get to the home screen.
That way he was able to get in.
Is there a Siri command to go directly to the Home Screen from the lock screen? I tried various things I could think of, but couldn't figure out anything that worked.
What would be best is being able to bypass the lock screen altogether. I have another elderly friend who is blind and it is a source of constant confusion for him.
As for voiceover - he is finding it impossible to figure out. I can see, and I am also finding it impossible to figure out. We tried to use it to get into the TED app and select, play and stop videos and all sorts of weird UI elements starting popping up and it was frustrating him so we turned voiceover off. But that's for another discussion thread.
In the meantime, is there an easy way to get home if somebody is having trouble sliding?
Thanks,
doug

I think the more "assistive" features are turned on the harder it is for both my sighted and blind friend to use.
Yes, that can sometimes be true.
Unless your older but sighted friend has difficulty with fine motor movements, I suspect that the slide to open is a matter of practice. If you can convice your friend that they are capable of learning it and get them to work with it a bit that might help. I've found that older learners can become frustrated very quickly with technology. They either have themselves convinced they can't learn technolgy or that get annoyed because iPhones are supposed to be "intuative". The challenge is getting them to feel okay about being a beginner at something.
You're a good friend to take on this teaching task.
Best of luck.

Is there a Windows Print Screen command for Mac?

I need a screen shot for a presentation. Is there a "print screen" command for Mac OS, analogous to Windows?

Command-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it as a file on the desktop
Command-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an area and save it as a file on the desktop
Command-Shift-4, then space, then click a window: Take a screenshot of a window and save it as a file on the desktop
Command-Control-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it to the clipboard
Command-Control-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an area and save it to the clipboard

The Oracle Host command locks up XP occasionally after returning from LabVIEW app.

Here's the scenario:
The Oracle Host command calls a LabVIEW exe I created called LVSMS.exe. LVSMS than calls a Campbell Scientific app called SMS.exe that reads data from a storage device through the serial port COM1. SMS is closed by LabVIEW through the use of the SMS app pull down menu using keystrokes generated by LabVIEW keystroke commands. The data obtained by SMS initially gets stored to the local drive and is than copied to the network. LabVIEW than exits. Upon exiting LabVIEW and returning to Oracle control under the Oracle HOST command which is running in the background the whole time, WinXP will occasionally lock up.

Thanks. WinXP only locks up when returning from LabVIEW to Oracle. The app is running on 12 computers 2,000 miles away. I found out that 4 of the 12 have locked up. I'm still working on determining if the lock up happens on 4 specific computers or if it's random. It never locks up on my development machine which is supposed to be identical to the machines at the other facility. I've changed timing intervals between when the Campbell SMS.exe program closes and when the LabVIEW LVSMS.exe program closes, and changed the WinXP performance properties. We're evaluating the results now; the process is used only once every 4 hours, so evaluation is slow. The Oracle HOST command appears to be the culprit. Haven't tried it from Win2000, but my WinXP development system
works flawless.
I'm hoping for information regarding the Oracle HOST command and WinXP. Posssibly what to tweak.

Outlook doesn't display print screens images sent in my inbox from other people

Hi,
I am using a MacBook Air. My professional Outlook never displays print screens images sent from time to time by other colleagues (they all use PC's with Windows OS), i instead have a little blue question mark icon.
Do i need to download a specific plugin to display those print screens? Could someone help me out with this please?
Thank you for your assistance.

Yes, I have added the Page to the Workset, and also the IView to the Page.
If I set up a temporary workset, And assign the 2 objects to it (the IView and the Page), they appear as links at the top of my Portal. When I click the link assigned to the IView, the Inbox is shown. When I click the link assigned to the Page, it only shows a blank window instead of the Inbox.
